By Terrence Mawawa, Masvingo| In yet another incident reflecting discord in Zimbabwe’s opposition parties, People’s Democratic Party(PDP) leader Tendai Biti has accused former Vice President Joice Mujuru of attempting to destroy his party by stealing perceived key votaries.
In a sad trend that has seen opposition parties in Zimbabwe trading accusations, turning attention from the current economic woes created by President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF’s controversial policies, Biti lambasted Mujuru for attempting to destroy the PDP by targeting key members of his party.
ZimEye.com is told Biti who was in Masvingo recently came out with guns blazing as he attacked Mugabe’s former deputy. Biti was reacting to district reports during a closed door meeting with members of the provincial executive in Target Kopje, Masvingo, also accused Mujuru of playing hide and seek with other opposition parties. “Taking members of other parties cannot get the People First anywhere. You have to begin from the grassroots and then market yourself to the electorate. Why are the People First guys untouchable?
“Not even one of them has been arrested.
“If they are persecuted the way other parties are being tormented by Zanu PF then we know that they are genuine.
Let them get beaten, abducted and arrested then we know they are serious. Mujuru thinks she can build her party by snatching our members-thats is an ill-conceived political strategy,” said Biti.
The PDP leader who is expected to be a key member of the grand coalition, also distanced his party from a fusion with Mujuru adding it would be difficult to trust the People First politicians and singled out Claudius Makova as the man who terrorised opposition supporters in Bikita. With the major players in opposition politics distancing themselves from each other, hopes of a grand coalition set to mount a stiff challenge against Mugabe could remain a pipe dream.

The opposition has been totally useless in the past, even in the heydays when MDC was one big happy family, because there was no quality leadership. It was Chris Dell, US Ambassador to Zimbabwe, who said Tsvangirai was “a weak and indecisive character”; that was back is 2004!
Having failed to produce a effective opposition because there are no quality leaders some people have since embarked on a mission to forge an effective opposition by bringing together all the mediocre opposition into a grand coalition. For an effective opposition, or anything for that matter, the determining factor is quality; quantity is no substitute for quality.
Indeed to concentrate on quantity in this case will make the situation even worse, the fight for position has paralyzed the coalition.
The opposition, at least the little quality opposition that is there, should just focus on demanding the implementation of the GPA reforms so the next elections are free, fair and credible.

Don’t worry about a grand coalition to fight Zanu-PF because, come 2018, there will be several Zanu-PF splinter parties. So the opposition should c0ncentrate on building their own parties and stand alone come 2018.
